Harvey Elliott: Age no excuse at Liverpool | OneFootball

Harvey Elliott says age will be no excuse for him next season at Liverpool.

The 18 year-old is hoping for a Liverpool chance after a successful loan with Blackburn Rovers.

Asked about his target for the new campaign, Elliott said: "Just to be in the team, that's it. There's no blockage in age now.

"You see youngsters all the time in football so I can't use that as an excuse. I need to go in and show people I can be trusted and can play for the team."

Elliott, speaking in the latest Ranks FC podcast, also determined what he needs to bring to his game to seriously challenge the likes of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane.

"Goals," he said. "If you look at Salah, he's just goals, goals, goals, goals, goals. He's always thinking about getting into the right positions and how to score when they come.

"I need to adapt that in my game. I personally think the assists and passes will come if I'm in the right position to play those passes. But now it's about working on my goals and my speed.
